I hate to say this... but I need bra advice!

So, I saw the bra intervention threads and measured!

I'm 31-32 & 41, which I thought would probably make me 32G. I was all excited at getting a bra that would fit, and went off to Debenhams today.

I tried a few 32Gs on, but the cups were too big. I also tried a 30G, as that was the biggest cup size on the 30. The band did feel quite tight (but then I guess it would after wearing 38F nursing bras!). The cup on the 30G was too small, but there were no GGs. I compromised & tried a 32FF, but the cup was still too big. Sooo my questions are, is 30GG the way to go, will the band feel a bit less tight with the GG, and where can I get one? There was an online store someone recommended, but I can't remember what it was?

Helllp!

Hmmm. Which specific bras were you trying - did you manage to find a range or were they all quite similar (or all one brand?)

When you say the cups were too big - where were they big - all over or top gaping?

*were they big all over or just the top gaping

Oooh I'm trying to remember if they were from different ranges or not. I think there were at least two different brands, and they were both the same.

They weren't gaping, but there was spare/loose fabric at the top of the bra

Do you live near a branch of Bravissmo? The fittings there are great and they have a wide range to try on. I've always found Panache bras the best fit for me (32F).

It might have been me OP recommending TJ www.bralady.co.uk ?

Thanks for your posts everyone.

I live at the back of beyond, so no Bravisimo near here, but I'll check out that website, thanks.
